Releasing McCoy is a mistake.  Yeldon sucks as a runner.  Who is our home run threat now.  We have a bunch of power backs and a shifty but not explosive back.  I think they may not want to release Wade.

 

Wade is explosive but not ready to play in the regular season.

 

You’re thinking with your heart. 2019 Shady isn’t a “home run threat.” He’s a serviceable NFL RB at this point.

About Shady. During training camp i spoke with an acquaintence that is high up with bills. He told me gore was there specifically to get shady to fully by into the team direction, which had yet to happen. He made it sound like shady was gone if that didnt happen. I didnt want to break trust while there was just speculation, however, now seeing he was let go, it looks like having gore there did not influence shady's attitude and buy in. 

 

Shady hadn't bought-in?  That makes no sense.  The team went to the playoffs in 2017, added a ton of talent this off-season and he loves Josh.

I feel disappointed about this also, but singletary does have shady shake and bake, and I’m just not sure whatever happened late last season plus cap hit didn’t stack the odds against him. 

 

Good news is is there is some cash freed up now I assume.

No he isn't. One is an in-line blocker the other is s blocker in the backfield. Di Marco is also a special teams captain. 

That locker room leader crap is so overrated. The next time he drops another easy catch you'll understand. The Fb position is not needed in today's NFL.

Except it is in Daboll's offense. New England keep a full back who plays 25% of the snaps and STs. They are pretty successful.

Probably not with the last year high price tag..

^ This.  No one is paying 6 mil for a 31 year old RB that averaged 3 yard per touch last year.  He'll get a job at a reduced salary and the Bills save approximately 3 mil against the cap.

I always suspected that the Gore signing was intended to be a motivator for Shady, given their close relationship.     Ironic that it ended up costing McCoy his job.

 

This is certainly another "big balls" Beane move.  Not sure Gore has more than 10 carries a game left in him.  And he's never played for a cold weather team, so it will be interesting to see his effectiveness in December and January.    Given who he is, I suspect he'll be fine.   But until we see it...
